Top 5 Abilities & Skills Employers are seeking in 2019

Take a look at these Top 5 Skills & Abilities employers are seeking in 2019 from you to be a more informed job seeker & land your dream job.

·         Adaptability & Flexibility.

·         Interpersonal communication skills.

·         Eager & willing to add to their Knowledge-Based skills.

·         Problem-solving ability & Teamwork.

·         Time Management & Multitasking skills.

Adaptability & Flexibility

Adaptability is a vigorous quality that employers look in early 21st-century workers. With rapid changes in technologies, diversity, and society; corporations need employees who are open to new ideas, flexible enough to work through challenging issues, and normally able to cope when things don’t go as planned.  

Adaptability is the ability of an individual, team or an organization to alter or change itself to meet the best needs of the environment. So if a change does occur, an adaptable person or team can adjust & find the way how to perform within the new state of the situation themselves, as against having to be retrained. An adaptable staff, particularly the frontline staff can make all the difference in changing customer needs & the profitability of a company for instance.

Being flexible when it comes to work is value & it involves a great deal. Employees who approach their job with a versatile & flexible mindset are extremely valued by employers. Flexibility on the job includes the willingness and ability to readily respond to changing circumstances and expectations.

Interpersonal Communication Skills

The ability to communicate effectively with superiors and colleagues is essential, no matter what industry you work in. Working in the digital age all the workers must know how to effectively convey and receive messages in person as well as via phone, email, & social media. Good communication skills will help you get hired, land promotions, & be a success throughout your career.

Eager & Willing to Add to their Knowledge-Based Skills

When you show your eagerness to learn, it shows how serious you are about developing your career. You can try this by continuing to attend informational interviews and job shadows. This type of drive is a form of curiosity many job seekers, as well as professionals have. It’s what keeps folks motivated throughout their job search and the wish to advance their careers.

Problem-solving Ability & Teamwork

When you are problem-solving you are doing one of two things eventually. Either you are fixing something that is broken, or you’re building something. If you are building something, it could be completely new, or it could be improved. With the right mindset, problem-solving is not that difficult. Fixing things and building things is always a rewarding & empowering task. The more you solve problems, the better you will get too.

Regardless of your role, you need to be able to work well with others and also convey that fact to hiring managers, recruiters, professionals, and other prospective employers. Scan any job listing, and you’ll see that even ads that seek “self-starters” also inevitably drop the phrase “team player.” Those who have people skills like communication and a positive attitude often make a team function well.

Time Management & Multitasking Skills

Nowadays, multitasking skills have become important and a quality to aspire to. It is made to believe that all should master multitasking skills. Yet, in reality, multitasking skills may become misleading and troublesome too. People who do not have good multitasking skills may be led to mistakenly believe that they will be able to do various tasks at once and save time. However, if the multitasking skills are weak, an individual is likely to make mistakes, resulting in doing the same tasks repeatedly. This would, ultimately, lower the productivity of the person and cause frustration, for him/her and for the people he/she is working with.

Time Management

Time management skills, like other soft skills, such as organizational skills, are in high demand. Employers are going to be assessing your ability to manage your time, and also the effectiveness of your team to achieve department objectives.

Debunking the 5 Myths Revolving Around IT Recruitment

Staffing Companies have existed for more than five decades, & their dominance in the employment sector has been impeccable. With a turnover in millions, it is without a doubt that recruiting companies are here to stay for long.

Taking this into account, there are still a lot of people & corporations who have no idea what Staffing is all about and just don’t utilize its potential to their advantage.  

Recruiting is a tough and demanding job, yet it has led to questions in mind of the employee ‘or’ the job seeker, which have given rise to certain misconceptions regarding this field.

Let’s take a look at these myths/misconceptions & understand why they are wrong:

# Recruiters Charge Job Seekers a Service Fee – Recruiters always strive to fill the post with the right talent, or else, it will spoil the relationship of the staffing company with its client for not delivering the demanded talent.

Additionally, it will affect the relationship with the candidate as he/she may not benefit, & will soon lose confidence.

# Stuffing Up the Vacancies, No Focus on Candidate's Interest – Recruiters always strive to fill the post with the right talent, or else, it will spoil the relationship of the staffing company with its client for not delivering the demanded talent. Additionally, it will affect the relationship with the candidate as he/she may not benefit, & will soon lose confidence.

Recruiters perform various checks to ensure that the candidate is the right fit for any client. These checks include job experience, skill-set check, industry tenure, various background checks. All this is done before any candidate is permitted to start work for the client. Relations grow only if there is more transparency in approach.

# Focus is Only on Temp Jobs – This is not entirely true. The demand for a Temp job (Contractual Employment) is on the rise, however, recruiting companies also work on positions like Part-time, Temp to Perm, and Direct (Permanent) Hiring.

# Low Salary Worries – A Recruiter always gets paid by his / her client (discussed in Point # 1), however, it does not affect the candidate’s salary at all. In fact, recruiters are always motivated to provide you with the best pay package, as they get some percentage of your salary as their payment; according to the contract they have with their client(s).

# It’s Expensive - Many companies believe that outsourcing to a recruitment company will cost them a fortune. This is a Delusion. In reality, hiring a recruitment company saves a lot of Time & Money for them. After all, they are called Recruiters, as they are the best in their field and are equipped with the latest tools which will help you save more time, while you focus on other work that is important for your business.

“Video Recruitment – More than just a Trend”

Human beings are an evolving species. We love to try new ideas and follow them loyally until a better one pops up. Such is the story with People and Trends. Trends change from time to time, and so does the art of connecting with people. People today, are more inclined towards videos, rather than the orthodox text-based contents such as articles and blogs.

Reason: Videos provide striking & collaborating information in a short interval, when compared to long and lackluster texts. The impact is Phenomenal. Websites like YouTube are a perfect example. Its platform is unlike other social media platforms, yet it has its own distinctive features, making it a prominent mode to reach millions of viewers, by just constructing a few minutes of quality content.

1.9 billion logged-in users visit YouTube every month

The above statistics advocate the power of visualization, its impact, and command over the internet. This command will continue to increase in the future.

How can we utilize this potential in a “Video Recruitment” process?

Here are some ways in which you can effectively implement videos in Recruitment:

Create Your Company Video – You can share your company’s culture; give a quick tour of your organization to candidates. This will give them a better perspective of the workplace. You can even be humorous while you’re doing this activity, as it helps to relax the candidate(s).

Conducting Q & A Sessions – Try to answer all the questions asked by the candidate(s). These questions could be related to your company, its employees, the work culture and more. This replicates a positive image of the company and shows how much the company cares. This will eventually boost your recruitment process.

Testimonial Videos – These are visual exhibitions that share employee experience at your company. They can even include ex-employees. Such depiction creates a great candidate experience for potential job seekers.

Keep it Short & Conversational – Many people post long videos which are not watched completely. According to Skill Scout, you have 1 minute 36 seconds to capture the candidate’s attention. It’s best to make a video in the range of 2 to 3 minutes.

Must have a CTA (Call to Action) – It’s important to include a CTA button at the end of your company video. This button can have options like Apply for the Job, Visit our Blog section, Search Jobs, Current Vacancy, We are Hiring. This helps the candidate(s) to take the next step: “Apply”.

According to CareerBuilder, job postings with video icons are viewed 12% more than postings without videos.

Share the video content that you created, on other social media platforms too. It will channel more traffic to your website.

For making high-quality video presentations, you can even appoint professional video creators, or if you want to save some money, a smart the phone will do the trick.

Remember to give equal attention to mobile video presentations, as more than 70 % of videos are viewed on mobile.

Conclusion: Utilizing a Video recruitment strategy makes you stand out when compared to your competitors. Implementing strategies like this will drive more exposure to your brand, build up candidate(s) attention, and ease the hiring process wherein the benefits are endless.

Come & be a part of this amazing movement.

Most valuable asset nowadays is Data, Not Oil !

"Data" - The expression you will come across if you are a working professional, ‘or’ you have any other area of interest. Over the past decade, “Data” has been talked as the most significant and treasured asset; even surpassing the value of Oil.

What is “Data”? Well, it's just Information in a raw or unorganized form (such as letters, numbers, or symbols) that refers to, or represents conditions, ideas, or objects. Data is infinite and present all around us.

A few centuries ago, Oil was the talk of the town in terms of a future resource. A similar development is being witnessed lately, where Tech Giants are indicating“Data” as the new Oil of the Digital Era.

Yes, you heard it right! “Data” is more valuable as an asset, when compared to Oil.

Let’s find out what makes it stand out.

Data has made a tremendous impact and every sector. People who work with data on a regular basis: bankers, marketers, advertisers, sociologists, scientists, researchers, lawmakers, government officials, organizations, etc. will attest the value of data.

Even Tech Giant's like Google, Amazon, and Facebook are piling data resources and generating humongous profits in the sector of digital advertising and various online activities, covering almost the whole world. Data that clearly states that few people today, want to live without Google’s search engine, ‘or’ Amazon’s one-day delivery ‘or’ Facebook’s newsfeed as mentioned in the economist.

Data as a resource is desired by every top industry. Without it, they will cease to exist. Sectors like healthcare need data related to patients & their history, pharmaceuticals’ need it for their medicine, whereas, staffing & recruiting giants need candidate data to track and hire them, and the list goes on.

Mentioned below are some points which showcase the Want for Data over Oil:

Data has captured the whole world with its ability to provide benefits to the end consumer.

It is easy to transport in comparison to Oil.

Data has more variety than Oil.

While Oil is a finite resource; data is an effectively infinite, durable and reusable resource.

There is no substitute for data. Oil, on the other hand, has alternatives such as biofuel, ‘or’, natural gas.

You don’t have to face Standard Antitrust Laws.

(Antitrust laws are designed to prevent restrained trade in interstate commerce)

The end conclusion being, “Data” as a resource has many advantages over Oil, however, it is still a debatable topic and may vary from person to person, ‘or’ business.

So what do you think? Has Data replaced Oil as the next Big Resource?

What attracts Talent in an Organization?

Recruiting Skilled Talent may have been considered as an easy task a few decades ago, however, in this age of digitization where education levels have ascended, and technology has evolved; hunting for talent has become more multifaceted.

The demand for talent has increased over time, even the employees are aware of it. Companies today, need to stand up to the expectations of the employee(s), & build a distinguishable attractive brand; otherwise, they risk losing their skilled employee(s) to their competitors.

According to the 2018 annual Talent Shortage Survey, employers today, are struggling more than ever to fill open jobs. 45% of employers globally say that they can’t find the necessary skills they need. This quotient has gone up from 40% in 2017 and is the highest in over a decade. For larger organizations (250+ employees) it’s even higher, with 67% reporting talent shortages in 2018.

Let’s discuss some of the key points you should focus to attract talent for your organization

The first choice of every employee is to join a successful company with a strong brand image. Create a valued brand image of your organization, like Google, ‘or’ Facebook, thereby setting your bar high, which automatically attracts top talent to join you.

Build a great website which showcases your Vision-Mission statement. Show how your company believes in Diversity, Fairness, display projects you carried out with a high rate of success, & client/customer testimonials. Job seekers tend to go through the companies profile before applying, hence, make sure you have an online presence, have a positive social media image on the internet - be sure to have company blogs, twitter feeds, a Facebook page which portrays a positive image of your company. Check sites like Glassdoor for reviews.

Provide a well-detailed job description, which mentions all the duties and accountabilities the position holds, explain the nature of the work style. Candidates can see if the work style suits them or not, thus saving time for both. Mention future prospects/growth in the company, perks, and security. These are some points which weigh more on the candidate(s) scale in terms of job preference.

Flexibility in terms of work environment like, working hours, dress code, work from home options, judging them by their productivity, & not by their presence in office in terms of hours, not being bothered by whether they are in office or not, thus maintaining a healthy work-life balance creates a more productive employee.

Remember your company goal. What are your searching for? ‘Or’ how much can you offer? ‘Or’ what perks & security do you provide? All this plays a key role in your company’s success because it’s always quality that matters over quantity. Have a good top-level managing team, which in turn creates a great team within the organization & also provides you with more upcoming talents.

An organization should always be prepared to answer questions: why should the employee choose you? What can you offer better in comparison to your competitor(s)? Creating a sense of security & stability around the employee(s), added with a great work culture, rewards & appreciation; is a well-constructed strategy whose results are enormous, & will help you preserve your employee for the long term. Implementing the above-mentioned points will no doubt distinguish you from the rest.

Recruitment is no longer an  8 – 5 Job. Here's Why.

Working an 8-5 job in Recruitment? Most people may not agree with this idea. The recruitment process is fundamentally carried out by consultants, agencies, and companies, to meet the needs of clients by providing them the talent they necessitated.

How is it to work in the recruitment sector?

People have mixed interpretations on this. Some define recruitment as stressful, demanding, a pressure job; whereas others identify it as a financially stable job with perks & incentives. Which side should you trust? It differs from individual to individual, and of course, the company involved plays a vital part in it.

 What are the skills required to become a recruiter; & what are the perks of being one?

1. Recruitment is a demanding job. You need to have strong communication skills, sourcing skills, interviewing skills, and the aptitude to negotiate with candidates to reach a mutually beneficial conclusion.

2. As a recruiter, you are a vital link between the client and the candidate. You need to have the comprehensive knowledge of the company, the job description, and the work culture, before approaching the candidate.

3. Be Spontaneous and Alert while responding to questions asked by the candidate, provide relevant answers, organize their schedule, synchronize the interview details, and inform them about the result.

4. This role can be challenging; yet exciting, as the profession is fast-paced, target driven and demanding. You just need to possess the right skills required to be a recruiter.

5. Being a recruiter has its perks. Recruitment plays a vital role in developing your overall professional and personal skills, such as: confidence, sales skills, problem-solving abilities, negotiating, and time management.

 What are the factors that affect the working hours in recruitment?

 Work life balance as a culture has definitely improved in this sector, however, working an 8-5 job is not always possible. Being a recruiter, you have to give more priority to the clients & candidates.

A recruiter’s job is majorly indoors within office premises, however, it may include some outdoor activities depending on the company. Nowadays, most companies outsource their work: E.g. countries like USA, UK & Canada. Here’s where the working hours come into play. Staffing & Recruitment companies like Apidel Technologies contribute towards a 24 hours availability for its clients & candidates.

The recruiting work demands your presence even after your day is over, the reason: could be the availability of the candidate after your working hours; the same goes for the client. If you have your personal-mail linked to the office, then it would be even harder to stop; so being available is your priority. One of the reasons people prefer recruitment is that the job is Commission focused.

The recruitment profile requires you to have certain skills to succeed, and it has excellent Career prospects for you and helps you in your Professional Development. You will make lasting business relationships and gain exposure that isn’t available in most industries

The working hours are not fixed and can change according to necessity, hence, for certain, you can’t say it’s an 8-5 job. If the job requires you to stay longer, you have to, & all the hard work & dedication you put in it will pay off in a positive outcome for you, and yes even for the company.

Benefits of using Social media platforms, which help in your Job Hunt!

Since its emergence, Social Media has spread its importance all over the world. Either as a medium of connectivity to the world, ‘or’ as an advertiser for products/services, ‘or’ for social-bonding / events and making global-friendship; we all know how powerful social media has become over time.

You may already know that these platforms can be used for discovering your “Dream Job” too.

According to a 2018 CareerBuilder survey,

“70 percent of employers use social networking sites to research for job candidates during their hiring process (on par with last year), while 7 percent plan to start. And that review matters: Of those that do social research, 57% have found content that caused them not to hire candidates.”

Another interesting analysis conducted in September 2018 showcased that 17 percent of male respondents stated to have altered their social media accounts when applying for a job.

From the above stats, it projects a clarity on why you should be part of Social Media. Such platforms are not just restricted to your private life today. They have spread beyond. Be smart and utilize this resource, as a No-Show on social media could become a big setback for you. So come "Online."

Here are some simple ways to make the most of social media in your job search and career path:

Be responsible while using social media.

Conduct a proper search of yourself online, before applying for job search.

Keep it Clean. Remove any offensive, political matters, likes, long random chats on certain topics, and keep your settings to “Private” if you don’t want to share anything in public.

Prioritize who you want to connect with personally or professionally. Use your real name, and keep a professional Image.

Organize your social accounts, (especially LinkedIn) like you do with your CV. Mention your work experience and all the important relevant details related to the job. Use keywords to target recruiters, and avoid spelling mistakes.

Grow your network on LinkedIn and Facebook, follow your Employer. Prepare before going for an interview, and most important: be up-to-date with the company’s current event/activities.

Benefits you can reap by using social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram:

You can easily apply for the advertised role, which will redirect you to the appropriate websites.

Elaborate your work on sites like LinkedIn to attract recruiters. Mention in your profile if you are actively looking for a job change. Use keywords to be found by recruiters.

Follow relevant companies. Get involved in LinkedIn / Facebook groups, and initiate conversations on your topic (s) to attract recruiters.

Showcase your work/project (s) on your social media account; it may even be a blog, ‘or’ your work on a website.

Conclusion: If you are not using any social media sites as a part of your professional journey, you could be missing the advantage of attracting new job opportunities, and making new connections. So take advantage by being a part of the “Social-Media” world today.
